Breaking news: Ten hag reveals list of 3 players that will benefit from Paul Pogba departure,would this players be better than pogba ??
Manchester United midfielder Paul
Pogba has reportedly told his teammates
he will be going at the end of the season
and also left the squad’s WhatsApp group.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed
that Pogba is out for the rest of the season
after picking up an injury early on in the
4-0 defeat at Liverpool last Tuesday.
The 29-year-old's current contract expires
at the end of the season and United's
£89million club-record signing looks certain
to leave Old Trafford for a second time
on a free transfer.
According to the Daily Mirror, Pogba has
told team-mates he is on his way this summer
, and is even said to have left the WhatsApp
player group the squad uses to stay in
touch.
He has also received two contract offers
amid interest from Real Madrid and PSG.
It comes a few days after Pogba said that his
career with Manchester United is 'not over'
despite Rangnick's comments.
Pogba went off with an injured calf inside
the first 10 minutes of United's 4-0 humbling
at Anfield.
He was the subject of a smattering of jeers
from the away supporters section following
the booing he received at Old Trafford
against Norwich.
As he made his way towards the tunnel after
the full-time whistle, Pogba held his hand
by his ear towards the direction of Stratford
End.
It all appeared to suggest that the Frenchman
had played his last game for the club, with
even his current manager appearing to
believe that the case.
However, the midfielder tweeted during
his side's loss to Arsenal that his time
in Manchester was 'not over'.
He wrote: 'Absolutely gutted to not be able
to help the team in today's game. I will
work even harder to come back stronger
and hopefully before the end of the season.
'It's not over,' he added. 'Thank you all
for your support, United we would stand!'
Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Edinson
Cavani and Juan Mata are also expected
to leave the club on free transfers during
the summer window.
The Old Trafford hierarchy will reportedly
hand incoming manager Erik ten Hag a £
100-£150million budget to acquire new players
, but told the Dutch boss to prioritise
'evolution rather than revolution'.
Therefore, Ten Hag will look to sign
Darwin Nunez, Jurrien Timber and
Pau Torres after off-loading the likes
of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Anthony Martial
, Alex Telles and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Rangnick had said prior to United's trip
to Arsenal: 'All of the others are still injured
and Paul with the scan, it is very likely
he will not play until the end of
the season again.
'The doctor told me it will take four weeks
minimum for him to recover and the last
game is at the end of May. I don't think
it's very likely he will play again.'
The interim boss added: 'It's obvious there
are quite a few players whose contracts
are expiring, there might be a few others
who are on loan might still want to be
on loan or leave the club, it will be a
significant change and rebuild necessary.'
According to ESPN , club chiefs have
decided to distance themselves Rang nick's
comments following the 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Speaking after the game, Rangnick insisted
that Manchester United should sign
10 new players during the summer transfer
window, saying: 'It is embarrassing,
it is disappointing, maybe even humiliating
. We have to accept they (Liverpool) are
six years ahead of us now.
'There will be a rebuild here. Six, seven
, maybe 10 new players will come
. (Liverpool) have better players than
we have and this was really reflected
by the result today.
'There will be a rebuild for sure, that
was obvious in the first three or four
weeks for me. For us it is extremely
embarrassing as a coaching staff to sit
here and have a press conference like this.
We just have to admit they are better than us.'
United are open to signing new players
during the summer window but they have
made it clear to Ten Hag that they are looking
to evolve the current squad rather than overhaul it.
That being said, Ten Hag will be given
a huge budget to spend during the transfer
window. He will also receive extra cash
once United offload a host players.
Additionally, Ten Hag will have to make
a decision about the United goalkeepers
once he arrives at the club.
Dean Henderson has expressed his
desire to leave while sources have revealed
that the Dutch manager is worried about
David de Gea's suitability for his system.
Therefore, with a mass exodus expected
this summer, United are putting together
a list of potential candidates they are
interested in speaking with.
They are eager to sign a striker and midfielder
during the summer window. The Red Devils
are thought to be interested in either Harry
Kane or highly-rated Benfica striker Nunez.
However, Benfica are believed to be
holding out for at least £110m for the
striker - and the fee would represent sizable
profit from the £20m they paid for
him in 2020.
United are also said to be putting
together a list of full-backs for the
summer transfer window. Among those
selected so far is Villarreal defender Torres.
The Red Devils have also approached
Ajax about the availability of Timber
ahead of Ten Hag's arrival at the club.
Additionally, ESPN claim that Manchester
United's football director John
has reached out to Andreas Pereira to
tell him that Ten Hag would be interested
in his services if a permanent move to
Flamengo breaks down this summer.
